Food was just ok, the kitchen was very unhygienic. We sat at the bar and saw a cook touch raw chicken and plate a salad with the same hand without cleaning it. Avoid the sushi — the fish was not fresh and we had a hair in our rice.

This is a small restaurant, so a wait is to be expected in the evenings/on weekends. However, it's more than worth it! They have the best ramen I've tried in a long, long time, and the servings of meat and extras in their bowls are HUGE. Like heaping up out and over the bowl. Their sushi is also great; they put a large amount of avocado and fish in their specialty rolls, and everything is very fresh. Can't wait to try this place once I'm back in town!

It's the best restaurant in Burlingame. While the environment may not be as glitzy as elsewhere, the food is phenomenal. Am moving away for work and came back for my last local meal today. Thank you for all the great food, will come back if I ever visit.Come here for the lunch set, Miso ramen and katsu curry ramen are great too.
I arrived around 6:30 on a Thursday and was immediately seated. The place has a cozy Japanese diner feel to it, pretty nice. The sushi rolls are large, and it's not just a lot of rice but lots of fish, too. The Yakuni ramen has bean sprouts so be aware of that since they put it underneath the pork if you don't like them. I'm sure you can ask for none, though. Both the ramen and sushi tasted great!!

Tucked away, Hanabi has bold flavors for its ramen and fun mashups, like their Philly Kimcheez Steak Spring Rolls.
Our absolute long-time local favorite serving delicious ramen, sushi and curry—the friendliest service too! Just go!

I was particularly impressed that our waitress repeatedly thanked us for waiting. We were never waiting for an unreasonable amount of time, but I appreciated her acknowledging us. This acknowledgment is very rare, even at higher end restaurants. The food was very good, especially my curry karaage ramen. The lunch combos are great values for the amount and variety of food in one set. I would definitely recommend this cozy restaurant.

I love this place for unique and creative menu dishes! Ramen was delicious and very close to what you would get in Tokyo. We tried the spicy tan tan ramen with KFC style fried chicken. The chicken wasn’t as flavorful as KFC but maybe you’re supposed to dunk it in the broth and eat them. The noodles were too soft and overcooked. Next time I will ask for hard noodles- the proper way to eat them.Vegetarian options: Sesame broth ramenDietary restrictions: Chicken broth ramen
